President Gloating Sadist [View all]

And his Stone Age remark. Telling 90+ million Iranians they are going to be bombed back into the Stone Age “because that is where they belong”.

One of the worst things about being an American for me during these times is seeing ugly shit like this normalized. Nary a mention in the reports in this country about the speech. It was just Trump being Trump. Even though this whole misadventure started out at least in part under the pretense of regime change and a better world for the people of Iran.

But of course that was always bullshit. Trump doesn’t want a better country for anyone starting with his own.

The Iranians noticed. For them it was a no throwaway remark. It was a halftime pep talk that will serve as motivation to endure all the killing and destruction to come and to inflict the same on the forces of Trump, who will have no one to thank for their suffering more than him.
